- Hudson Hi-Fi Turntable Cartridge Alignment Kit - The Audiophile Purists Perfected 3-Piece LP Cartridge Setup Set. Accuracy Optimized Digital Scale, Azimuth Ruler, Protractor - Rich Pure Sonic Sound

I’ve only really put the VTF gauge to work so far, but even with limited use, the overall quality is good. It's not heavy and is a size suitable enough to carry around with you needed. The tools come packed in a semi‑hard zip‑up case that actually feels protective rather than decorative, and everything inside is organized. There's extra space in case you need to store other things. I have a little case with my extra stylus that I also keep in here. The VTF gauge itself is straightforward, easy to read, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Making sure that your cartridge is utilizing the correct tracking force is essential to good sound with your turntable. This thing zeros that right in and you don't actually have to fumble as much with the counterweight. I was able to get my cartridge set perfectly to 1.5 g, which is precisely where it needs to be. Everything else looks just as solid. The acrylic pieces are cut cleanly, the edges aren’t rough, and nothing feels like a cheap add‑on thrown in to pad the box. It’s the kind of set that feels like it’ll hold up over time rather than something you’ll replace after a few uses. Another good Hudson Hi-Fi product. If you’re looking for a simple, well‑made set of alignment tools, even if you only need one or two pieces right now, this is a genuinely good option. It works, it’s built well, and it's a great value. Buying decent tools individually will be more expensive, and there's no point when you can get everything in a single package. This is a great deal, and I'm glad I bought it.

Works fine. My set up was so close from the factory, didn't have to do much. Definitely a handy item. Recommend it.

I bought a atvm95e cartridge and all my records were skipping. I set my counter weight 3 times, made micro adjustments to the alignment til I was blue in the face. Turns out my counter weight was off from where it should have been. By my count, the multiple times I set my weight, my vtf was 2.2g turns out it was 1.85g which is below the minimum recommendation of 1.88. Got it dialed in at 2.1 and no more skipping records. This could have saved me a lot of headaches if I had just bought it to set up my new cartridge from the get go. If you're getting into this as a hobby these are all great tools to have and it comes with a nice rigid solf shell case. My only minor complaint is that I wish it came with the mirrored protractor hudson sells. Thats said I'm happy with the quality and you can't beat the price!

It’s a good product, after using it I realized I never really need it. My set up was almost dead on

Good product good price

Everything is included perfect for setting up a turntable. The calibration weight for the scale is in a compartment on the bottom of the scale. Took me a minute to find it. Shipped fast and is as described. I'll probably buy some more stuff from Hudson Hi-Fi.

This kit is great and works well. I am sure there are more expensive kits out there that certain people will say "All the others are garbage you need to spend at least 2000 to get a decent kit" but this kit works perfectly fine. I needed to change the cartridge on my record player, and this helped me make sure it was properly aligned, so I am thankful for that. It was also great to have this kit to help with adjusting my tonearm counterweight. My tonearm is a bit older, and the counterweight appears to be aftermarket so the dial is not that reliable. Overall this kit helped me dial in everything, and adjust what was needed and I could not be happier. For the price paid this was worth it.

Great kit. Very easy to do the calibrations. All devices works perfectly.

Ótima balança. Muito necessário!

Awesome and works as described. Easy to use and a must for any audiophile or casual listener. Your vinyl will thank you for it.

was of great use to align and weigh my tonearm/stylus for the first time, 100% recommended

Well built, easy to use, all in one solution that helped me balance a new Ortofon Bronze 2M needle on a Technics SL1200 MK 2 turntable in less than 5 mins!

Cuando uno compra una tornamesa cree que es suficiente con instalar el stylus o aguja y se acabó, para sacar el mejor sonido de los discos lp es indispensable calibrar la altura, peso y que esté bien alineada, este kit es fácil de usar, la marca le pone mucho cariño a este producto, no son materiales premium pero para el precio cumple bastante bien, lo único que le falta es un pequeño nivel porque con la más mínima inclinación de la tornamesa la pequeña báscula falla al calcular el peso del stylus, tiene que estar perfectamente horizontal, un producto de 10.
